Notes About The Poem

Put Yourself In Their Shoes Poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper. 08/20/23

Pause For Claws

I’m sitting with mummy on the door step
She’s relaxing as she’s done all the chores
Mummy cuddles me because our cat Bep
Scratched me so hard with her needle sharp claws

I was supposed to play with my mate Mike
We sit together each day at playschool
Now my arm’s too sore to ride my new bike
But we can have fun in our paddling pool

So Mike’s coming over to play with me
And we can ride our bikes another day
Mummy’s said that he can join us for tea
I’m just so happy Mike’s coming to play!
